Set up and manage mobile access for your users

As an administrator, you can turn mobile access on or off, and remotely manage some phone features or options. For example, you can require passwords for your users’ devices.

When mobile access is turned on, users can configure their Windows Phone, iPhone, iPad, Android phone, BlackBerry®, or other phone or tablet to send and receive Office 365 email and access calendar and contacts information. Your users can also access their email on their phone or tablet by signing in to Outlook Web App.

Turn mobile access on or off

Exchange ActiveSync, which is turned on by default, turns on mobile access for Windows Phone, Apple iPhone and iPad, Android phones, and BlackBerry devices.

For BlackBerry devices, when you use Exchange ActiveSync, the only thing users will be able to do is send and receive email.
